(Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 34. There Is more than meeta the eye be hind these atorles cropping out from lime w ' f!Tswn about secret con tabs o big busi ness groups. So far, the pub lic has found out only about the durable gooda In. dustrles' gather ing at the Vir ginia spa and the American M a n 8gement associa tion powwow at the Lido Country club. Long Island. Paul Mallon More will be heard later about a simi lar group of Influential Chicago busi ness men who have assembled out there from time to time, the secret manufacturers- meeting at Montauk Point, Long Island, and a half dozen other similarly secret conventions of Industrialists. These are not such Incoherent and Isolated gatherings as they appear. Each one has Its own pet crowd of leaders, but those who have attended three of the gatherings have noted a certain duplication In the guest list. In other words, each meeting seems to send a few representatives to the others. Thus, each gang knows what the other Is doing, and, while they are not officially tied together into a national industrial resurgent move ment, that la what they amount to. Later, they will come out in the open, and then their co-operation will be even closer. In fact, you might describe their activities accurately now as the white shirt movement. Their secrecy has encouraged popu lar suspicion that they are primarily out to stop the new deal. That may be the unspoken hope of many of the delegates at the conventions, but those who have attended say the meetings have not been run on that basis at all. The real basts seems to be to stand together In groups for self-preservation. They have an idea that the ad ministration is driving a wedge into their businesses. In that suspicion they are not far wrong. Only last week, one of the onlv three men competent to express the philosophy behind tne w "' told a private gathering in his draw-1 ing room: "If you have to boll down the future Roosevelt program fc B ingle sentence it would be the o-; fusion of big business and the couragement of little business. t hftP.hirters.

Holmes, hunting In the vicinity of Huckleberry lake reports having seen Laidley, who la familiar with the entire section, at 10:30 Sun day morning, and Laidley was uneasy about Van Dyke's disappearance then, although he did not believe that he was actually lost. It was snowing heavily at the time, and the missing man was without a coat, but had matches with him. Easy to Get Lot The district, heavily wooded, with deiue underbrush, and with snow falling hard enough to obstruct vision is one In which a person might easily become lost, especially if that person Is unfamiliar with the country, for estry officials stated today. This ! the first time Van Dyke has hunted there. It was said. Van Dyke la an experienced hunter and woodsman, and the fear was ex pressed by close friends that he might be Injured. A party of ten or fifteen searchers headed by State Game Warden Walk er, and consisting of expert woods men familiar with the sector, left at noon today to try to pick up the missing man's trail. The forestry office expressed the opinion that If Van Dyke had tried to come out on the Rogue river side of the divide he should have made it in four or five hours, but that if he had gone down the Umpqua side, which seems likely, he could not be expected to reach a telephone before some time tonight, even under favor able conditions.
